Nice warm morning .....

5th March 2017 (Sunday)  .... 09.30       Welllll... I got myself organised to go to the kirk, but  changed my mind;   I woke up with a choked up head, like I’ve got a
The 'Cockstail Rocks' Earlsferry.
cold coming on.    I thought I’d feel mair ‘like it’ after a shower, and I did feel ‘better’, but still headachy.... so I’m skipping the kirk.    I’ve taken a couple of Paracetemol and, instead of the kirk I’ll do my ‘pagan’ thing;  wrap up well and take a short walk on the beach to get some fresh, Centre of the Universe, air into my lungs.    I feel better already!    With Communion we have to sit downstairs, so I wouldn’t be reclaiming ‘my’ gallery today:   that will have to wait for another couple of weeks

 14.00   The ‘boy’ has just awakened from having ‘50’ in the Hutte!   Obviously my ‘pagan’ walk along the beach this morning  has taken it out of me, as I am ‘shaky leggit’ now,.....  having extended the walk up to Chapel Green.   Obviously this is some kind of, hopefully mild, bug thing.    When up at Chapel green I noticed that some of the daffodils had been broken off.    I suppose would be acceptable if this has been done by a dog, but, if by a human(?) it’s dreadful.    While contemplating this,  sitting on “The Boss’s” seat, Sandra, a lady from St Monans, came along the path, and she also mentioned the daffodils scattered around.   Sandra is a friend of a friend of Jimmy’s, so we sat and chatted.   While we are sitting on Maggie’s seat chatting, Jimmy
Kellie Law from Maggie's seat.
was sitting ‘roond the corner’ on “Alice’s Seat”:   I know this because Sandra and I walked round to see if he was there!    He was.    The three of us sat on Alice’s seat and chatted:   there was much St Monans ‘news’ discussed at Chapel Green this morning.    Jimmy and I came down to Ivy for a cuppa, Sandra continued on with her walk;   which would eventually get her back home to St Monans.
21.30    After a catnap in the Hutte I woke up feeling slightly mair like myself, so I switched the kettle ‘on’;   Jimmy turned up right on cue.    After a cuppa we went up to Morrison’s (St Andrews) for a browse;  and found the shop has been  more or less re-modelled since I last was in it.    The aisles are wider and the in-store ‘shops’ are much better.    I bought a Fish Pie, Jimmy some containers of
Jimmy alongside Jim Buttercase's creel boat.
Instant, ‘add boiling water’, porridge.   We can’t go to St Andrews without going down to the harbour.    We didn’t see anyone we knew down there;   Jim Buttercase wasn’t working on his boat, so we had a look around before setting off fro home.

I’m going to have an early night and hope to feel 100% tomorrow morning.   I have an appointment at St Andrews on Tuesday afternoon and I want to be fine for that.

Pittenweem swimming pool....

20th September 2017 (Wednesday) ... 13.30    When I went along to Elie for the papers this morning, I got slightly diverted and ended up along at the old Pittenweem tidal swimming pool.  Pittenweem  swimming pool.    Unfortunately we have a, mostly overcast, with occasional spits and spots of rain, morning.     I must go back on a ‘bright and  sunny’ morning... this will show up the different colours of the sandstone rocks etc better.    It is an interesting spot, and would have been busy in the 1930’s , 40’s and 50’s.        20.30     My day has been spent pottering around Ivy... including baking a batch of wholemeal scones.    Note to self .... I must remember to freeze some of them this time;  rather than feed them to Blob and his pals.     It has been a grey and sometimes damp day;  not a day for bumbling about outside.    The ‘cold’ that I had last night didn’t come to anything.... I must have been tired after Solid infrastructure at Pittenweem swimming pool. my wand

Quiet morning ....

 5th October 2023 (Thursday)     09.30.... The crock pot has been fired up with a batch o’ Scotch Broth, George’s bucket has been put out for tomorrow morning....I have had breakfast, and now on my third cuppa of the morning; hoping for a stress free day.   The past two days were not stress free. Yesterday began really well.... I got the car insurance sorted, and was   settling down to check FB.    I saw a photograph captioned ‘Seal on a floe .... or was it?’   Being inquisitive I ‘clicked’ on it;   and that   was it .... flashing warnings all over the computer screen.     I’d been hacked.   A small window appeared purporting to be from Microsoft Security so I clicked on that and got an 0800 number to phone;    which I did and was answered by an Indian.     That’s when I should have pulled the plug on the computer.    However, h e as very   plausible so I began to follow his instructions for a few minutes... then  began to get suspicious;   especially when he began to insist that I

Warm and damp ....

4th October 2023 (Wednesday)     08.00 .... there’s been light rain overnight and the forecast is ‘strong winds and rain’, but it’s not raining at the moment.... and it’s warm.   I think I’ll go for the paper (on the bike) before rain arrives.... the wind freshens.  Slight ‘flap on’. 09.30 .... Go out before the wind freshened?.... it was already F6 (at the Breakwater) when I was out.   Guess who didn’t go down to the harbour!   That said even at the Breakwater the wind was warm.   I didn’t stop at the Breakwater, in fact I couldn’t stop.... the wind blew me half way along South Street and I was up on The Terrace in ‘nae time’.     I managed to stop, at my usual place, and take a few photos before heading for the shelter of the High Street... and the ‘paper shop’.    The streets were quiet and I thought about going up to Chapel Green but decided give CG a miss today.....   and have drawing day. 22.45    My computer was  hacked this morning and I am going to use the wee laptop until Ia
